François' life changed really fast. He finally got the bakery he wanted. It was slow at first, but he started to get customers after a week. Marvel got his braces off and started middle school, Beau started testosterone, and he was semi famous thanks to Lloyd. He thought about him every day. He wasn't allowed to call him more than once a week. It almost felt like they were in the war again.
He enjoyed the time with family again, but he was looking at houses for him and Lloyd to move into. They planned that when he was sick. He knew the other didn't want to live too posh and he didn't want something too simple. He found somewhere really nice and he and the other both liked.
------------------------------
"Hi, baby!" Lloyd exclaimed through their vidcall. "Look what I got!"
He moved his head to show François his newly pierced ears. The other wooed and commented on his new haircut. It was still long in the back, but the sides got the cleanup they desperately needed. He even got bangs.
He showed off his rings. "You like?"
"Is that one red?"
"Yeah, I know you like red." He was so cute.
François showed off his necklace. "Look at this!"
"Ahh, blue! You even got it in my favorite shade!"
He looked before looking into the camera. "God, you're so beautiful. I can't wait to see you again." Lloyd laughed and covered his face. "Aww, don't cover it!"
"Well, I'm coming soon. In just a week!" Apple jumped on the bed. "Are you excited to meet her?"
"Well, I did you and her presents." He smirked as the two presents were in his room.
"Aww!! I got you something too!" He looked over at the present in its cage running around.
"I have that whole day planned out for us. I swear you'll love it."
He smiled warmly. "If it's with you, you could set me on fire."
---------------‐-----------------
In February, François anxiously waited in the house. He had already moved his stuff in, and the guards moved the other's in. Now he was waiting for the other guard to bring his boyfriend here.
Would he really like it here? Would he be comfortable coming back to France? Wou-
"Franny, I'm home!"
François sprung up as Lloyd jumped into his arms. They kissed, ruffling each other's hair. They fell on the couch, still in each other's embrace. The guard wished them well and went on their way.
"You're here!" The redhead pulled the other away from his lips and hugged him tight. "You're already here!"
"I know!" He remembered his gift. "Close your eyes, I have something to give you!"
"Oh, me too! Let's do it at the same time!" Apple scratched at François's leg. "Hi, doggy!"
With their eyes clothes closed, they got their gifts. Apple ran to the two presents and sniffed them.
"1....2...3!"
"OH MY GOD A PET!"
The two dogs that François got him ran over to him, the big one knocking him over. He kissed them, kissed Apple, and asked their names. Benjamin and Blueberry! How cute! The other was excitedly staring at the bunny in the cage. She was a chuck with orange fur.
